Readers who attempt to process a text at various levels of critical thinking and memory, and to identify or create its key information, are halfway there in terms of acting on such intention. They also need to know what to do. It has been suggested from previous studies that one way to get both intentions and skill together and working well in terms of academic and workplace performance goals is by "top-level structuring." This strategy is a procedural action aimed at highlighting or fabricating the key element of structure when presenting or encountering an array of information, and using that key element (its "top-level structure") to transfer or transact what's important, what's eye-catching, what screams for attention. Some people do this naturally. Others have learned to do it following deliberate interventions. In either case, those who top-level structure appear to be great communicators - better at being smart, literate, lyrical, coherent, attentive and interpretative than they were before, or than those who do not yet have the strategy. Students who do it write better assignments and find textbooks friendlier than they had previously. Managers who do it become more communicative and believe their management style and its outcomes to be more effective. University students who do it have higher GPAs and are seen by themselves and others as smarter. In this presentation, an account is given of some of the top-level structuring terrain that has raised, tested, and supported the proposition of its effectiveness as an organisational strategy - across ages from early years to late seventies and eighties. A story using "theory of mind" will be spun to explain and predict its action.


Abstract The New Kadampa Tradition (NKT) recently attracted a lot of media attention by participating in a high‐profile campaign against the Dalai Lama during his visit to England in the summer of 1996. The issue at stake was the protector‐deity practice of rDo rje shugs ldan which the Dalai Lama has rejected on theological and political grounds, but which the NKT defines as its 'essential' practice. The significance of this dispute has been analysed in terms of its implications for the Tibetan political situation and the image of Buddhism in the West, but this article focuses on the implications for observers seeking to understand contemporary forms of Tibetan Buddhism in Western contexts. In particular, it is argued that an appreciation of Tibetan Buddhism in Britain requires the adoption of a cross‐cultural approach, and so the historical divisions within the dGe lugs tradition and the development of the rDo rje shugs ldan controversy are examined as the appropriate contexts for understanding the emerg...


A system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) using an Altera FPGA (Stratix EP1S10) and a Nios embedded processor to develop drive system for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is presented in this paper. In this SOPC, it has two modules to construct a fully digital drive controller. One module performs the function of the speed/position loop control and motion trajectory control of PMSM drives. The other module performs the function of the current loop control for PMSM drives, which includes vector control, SVPWM generation, coordinate transformation, PI controller and the pulse detection of the quadrature encoder. The former is implemented by software using Nios embedded processor due to the need of complicated control algorithm and low sampling frequency control (motion trajectory control & position control: less than 1kHz). The latter is implemented by hardware due to the need of high sampling frequency control (current loop: 16 kHz, PWM circuit: 4/spl sim/8 MHz) but simple computation. To confirm the effectiveness of the proposed SOPC, an experimental system with a PMSM, a FPGA experimental board, an inverter and a rectifier has been set up and some experimental results have been validated with the theoretical ones.


Deterioration of women's reproductive health causes an increase in the general number of oocyte donation and surrogacy programs. The formation of an allogeneic fetus in such cases affects the course of implantation and placentation, which is reflected in the increased frequency of obstetric and perinatal complications. The psychological status of these patients also has a significant impact on the course of pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period, which differs from that of women who are carrying their own child and/or have undergone infertility treatment. Purpose - to perform a comparative clinical and statistical analysis of somatic and reproductive history, obstetric and perinatal complications in pregnant women with an allogeneic fetus and pregnant women who were involved in in vitro fertilization (IVF) programs with their own oocytes. Materials and methods. Clinical and statistical analysis of the medical records of 200 patients, who were divided into two groups, was performed: the Group I - 150 pregnant women who were involved in IVF programs with the formation of an allogeneic fetus; the Group II (control) - 50 pregnant women who underwent IVF using the woman's own oocytes. Results. Among patients with an allogeneic fetus, a significantly lower number of various complications of somatic and reproductive anamnesis were recorded. The rates of obstetric and perinatal complications were comparable or higher as in the control group; the criteria for statistical significance of the difference were fulfilled for the indicators of gestational anemia, which was more often registered in the main group. The proportion of deliveries by caesarean section was significantly lower among pregnant women with an allogeneic fetus. The average weight of the newborn of the main group was significantly lower compared to the control. Conclusions. Despite the significantly lower frequency of detection of factors aggravating somatic and reproductive anamnesis, patients with an allogeneic fetus are characterized by comparable or higher rates of obstetric and perinatal complications, which makes it necessary to provide further investigation of the potential causes of this phenomenon, the features of the functioning of the fetoplacental complex, and the influence of the psychological status of the patients in order to improve the algorithm of pregravid preparation and antenatal surveillance. The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of the participating institution. The informed consent of the patient was obtained for conducting the studies. No conflict of interests was declared by the authors.


Two M5.1 earthquakes occurred in Yanjin,Yunnan,China,in 2006.We located the events with high precision,solved the source parameters of the Yanjin earthquake sequences,and discussed the rupture processes of the Yanjin doublet by using the near-field and regional seismic waveforms.The result shows that the two M5.1 earthquakes lie in the same tectonic region.The main fracture at depth 3-9 km is strike slip with a dimension about 9 km×3 km approximately,a strike about N53°E,and a dip about 80°.The strike of the fracture is consistent with that of the long axis of isoseismals.The seismic moment,rupture radius and stress drop are 109-1016 N·m,90-300 m and 0.000 2-32 MPa respectively in the seismic area.The events with higher stress drop concentrated at depth 5-10 km,so this depth range is the main active zone of the Yanjin earthquakes.The spatial distribution of the aftershocks displays that the main rupture plane of the former M5.1 earthquake has an absent-shock zone at depth 7-9 km,which is regarded as the asperity on main rupture plane,and the following M5.1 earthquake ruptured through the asperity.This suggests that the asperity on the rupture plane resulted in the Yanjin double shocks.So the absent-shock zone mapping is important for earthquake prediction.

This research is concerned with the use of nuclear weapons against combatants in an armed conflict and whether such a use violates or would violate the principle of unnecessary suffering as codified in St. Petersburg Declaration of 1868 and the Hague Conventions. In order to analyze what constitutes unnecessary suffering the method chosen for this research is comparison of the effects of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons on the human body. The reason for choosing this method is the abhorrence and distaste amongst international society towards chemical and biological weapons. These "inhumane" weapons are also already prohibited in international law mainly on the basis of violating the principle of unnecessary suffering. The paper deals with the physical and legal consequences of using nuclear weapons in an armed conflict. The main argument is that late effects even as a byproduct of nuclear explosion may cause "unnecessary" suffering of combatants. Even after a conflict ends these late effects continue to damage their organisms and thus prolong the suffering. On the other hand, not all nuclear weapons are the same. While a strategic use of a high-yield weapon would definitely be illegal, a tactical use of a low-yield nuclear weapon in remote areas, as anti-materiel or on high seas could limit the number of casualties and thus possibly be in compliance with the rules of international humanitarian law. 『広島平和科学』36 (2014) pp. 101-116 ISSN0386-3565


A kind of boron nitride nanosheet/gold nanoclusters matrix material.It is that hexagonal boron nitride is peeled off 4 hours at the aqueous solution (PDDA) of PDDA by probe type ultrasonic, after dispersion liquid places 24 hours, with the rotating speeds of 2000 rpms centrifugal 20 minutes, gets supernatant liquid for subsequent use.Get supernatant 10 milliliters and use the rotating speed of 10000 rpms more centrifugal 10 minutes, get subnatant, with intermediate water centrifuge washing 3 times, obtain boron nitride nanosheet.Then with gold nanoclusters by self-assembly effect, after both being mixed, supersound process 30 minutes, with the rotating speeds of 10000 rpms centrifugal 10 minutes, gets subnatant, after intermediate water centrifuge washing three times, obtains boron nitride nanosheet/gold nanoclusters matrix material.Matrix material of the present invention has stronger yellow fluorescence, has low toxicity to HeLa cell simultaneously, and can be applicable to the detection analyses such as biomarker.


A four-element array conformed to a singly curved conducting surface has been demonstrated to provide 2 dB axial ratio of 14 percent, while maintaining VSWR (voltage standing wave ratio) of 2:1 and gain of 13 dBiC. The array is digitally controlled and can be scanned with the LMS Adaptive Algorithm using the power spectrum as the objective, as well as the Direction of Arrival (DoA) of the beam to set the amplitude of the power spectrum. The total height of the array above the conducting surface is 1.5 inches (3.8 cm). A uniquely configured microstrip-coupled aperture over a conducting surface produced supergain characteristics, achieving 12.5 dBiC across the 2-to-2.13- GHz and 2.2-to-2.3-GHz frequency bands. This design is optimized to retain VSWR and axial ratio across the band as well. The four elements are uniquely configured with respect to one another for performance enhancement, and the appropriate phase excitation to each element for scan can be found either by analytical beam synthesis using the genetic algorithm with the measured or simulated far field radiation pattern, or an adaptive algorithm implemented with the digitized signal. The commercially available tuners and field-programmable gate array (FPGA) boards utilized required precise phase coherent configuration control, and with custom code developed by Nokomis, Inc., were shown to be fully functional in a two-channel configuration controlled by FPGA boards. A four-channel tuner configuration and oscilloscope configuration were also demonstrated although algorithm post-processing was required.


The interaction between the mechanical heterogeneity and the residual stress in dissimilar metal welded joints (DMWJs) leads to a complex mechanical field of crack tips, which strongly affects stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behaviors. A dual-field coupling model was established by using the user-defined field (USDFLD) and the predefined stress field method based on the elastoplastic finite element method in this study. Thus, the mechanical heterogeneity and the residual stress of the DMWJ are realized. The influence of the interaction between the mechanical heterogeneity and the residual stress on the mechanical field of crack tips at different locations was investigated. The results show that the mechanical heterogeneity causes the stress and strain distribution on both sides of the crack tip asymmetry. And the residual stress affects the magnitude of the stress and strain around the crack tip. The variation trend of the stress and strain along the crack propagation with crack length is basically the same as that of the residual stress. However, the stress and strain distributions are slightly lagging behind the residual stress distribution due to the redistribution of the residual stress caused by the crack propagation. In addition, the stress and strain range of cracks at different positions with crack length are also different.


With various influencing factors,non-linear relations,complex uncertainty,the comprehensive evaluation on water conservancy modernization in the irrigation area is involved in economy,society,technology,resources and ecological environment,etc.The "Multi-factors Set Pair Analysis Fuzzy Evaluation Model"(MFSPAFM) is applied to make evaluations on the water conservancy modernization in a particular irrigation area in the lower Yellow River in 2008 and make a comparison with the evaluation result of the regular set pair analysis model,based on seven indexes: economic development level in rural areas,safety protection level,irritation drainage production conditions,modernization level of the water conservancy science and technology,domestic water in rural areas,ecological environment in rural areas,managerial team and modernization level.The result indicates that the regular set pair analysis model doesn't consider the influence of superior index on the identity degree,while the MFSPAFM,with concise calculation process and more practical evaluation result,can reflect the real water conservancy modernization level in the irrigation area.


This is a compilation of several studies that were performed to address specific grower concerns or questions about onion fertilization, to assess onion fertility, to make adjustments in soil test recommendations, and to test specific fertilizers for clients covering the 1999-2000 to 2004-2005 seasons. The synthesis of these studies was to evaluate levels of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) fertilizers and their effect on yield, graded yield, and leaf tissue nutrient status in short-day onions over 6 years. In addition, various fertilizers were evaluated for their effect on these parameters. There was a significant increasing quadratic effect on yield from increasing N fertilizer from 0 to 336 kgha -1 with an R 2 of 0.926. Maximum calculated yield was at 263 kgha -1 N fertilizer; however, the yield at this rate did not differ, based on a Fisher's least significantdifference(P #0.05),fromourcurrentrecommendations of140to168kgha -1 N. Jumbo (7.6 cm or greater) yield performed in a similar fashion. Phosphorus fertilizer rates from 0 to 147 kgha -1 had no effect on total yield, but did affect jumbo yields, which decreased linearly with an R 2 of 0.322. Evaluations of P fertilizer in the 2001-2002 and 2002-2003 seasons only, when the exact same P fertilizer rates were used, showed a decreasing quadratic effect for jumbo yields with the lowest jumbo yields at 83 kgha -1 P fertilizer and jumbo yields increasing with 115 and 147 kgha -1 P fertilizer rates. Potassium fertilizer rates from 0 to 177 kgha -1 had a quadratic affect on total yield, with the highest yield of 52,361 kgha -1 with 84 kgha -1 K fertilizer rate. As would be expected, N and P fertilizer rates affected leaf tissue N and P levels, respectively. In addition, N fertilizer rates affected leaf tissue calcium (Ca) and sulfur levels. Potassium fertilizer rates had a significant linear effect on leaf tissue K 3 of 6 years. In addition, K fertilizer rates hada significanteffect on leaf tissue Plevels. Several fertilizers, includingCa(NO3)2 and NH4NO3, along with complete fertilizers and liquid fertilizers, were used as part of a complete fertilizer program and showed no differences for total yield or jumbo yield 4 of 5 years of evaluation when applied to supply the same amount of N fertilizer. Based on the results of this study, soil test P and K recommendations for onions in Georgia have been cut 25% to 50% across the range of soil test levels.

The rumen contents of juvenile red deer (Cervus elaphus) were used as a source for the enrichment of obligately anaerobic glycerol-fermenting bacteria. Three bacterial strains were isolated from the 10−4 dilution (isolates DR6A and DR6B) and 10−9 dilution (isolate DR7) of the deer rumen contents. The isolates DR6A, DR6B, and DR7 produced ethanol (42 mM) and acetate (5 mM), propionate (31 mM) and acetate (42 mM), and formate (25 mM) and ethanol (38 mM), respectively, as the major glycerol fermentation products. Interestingly, acetate, propionate, and formate were observed to be the major glycerol fermentation products in mixed cultures obtained from the deer rumen. The three isolates were all shown to be related phylogenetically to the ruminal species Clostridium clostridiiforme, Clostridium celerecrescens, and Clostridium aerotolerans within the clostridial taxonomic cluster XIVa, on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons. But, because of phenotypic differences, each isolate is considered to be a...


Industry practitioners deal with complex and fastmoving information system (IS) related challenges. IS academic researchers generate substantive theoretical outputs dealing with many of these challenges. Unfortunately, practitioners rarely make use of this academic research. This represents a serious gap that has negative consequences for academics and practitioners alike. This paper identifies aspects of the academic-practitioner gap and describes five criteria (value, velocity, visibility, voice, and verifiability) that researchers may use throughout the research process to increase the likelihood of creating research outputs that will be used by practitioners. These criteria are linked to three approaches for conducting research most likely to impact practitioners – direct creation of practitioner content, translation of scholarly research and co-production. We close with specific recommendations for IS academics to overcome the gap.

Preterm birth before completed 37th gestational week is extremely important clinical problem as it produces neonatal mortality and morbidity, as well as many negative short-term and long-term consequences to newborns, especially to the extremely preterm ones. The objective of our study was to determine the relationship between cervical length (CL), phosphorylated insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 (phIGFBP-1) and spontaneous preterm births.


Consciousness has become a hot topic for brain scientists. Once, we were content to leave the interminable mind/brain problem to philosophers and theologians. Speculation remained a CLM – a career-limiting move — for ambitious young researchers. No longer. Armed with novel tools, from genetic manipulation to brain imaging, flush with funding, and convinced that neuroscience has the key to the human condition, the hunt is on. Experiments, conferences and books proliferate, and philosophers of mind can no longer be taken seriously until they have done an internship in a neurophysiology lab.


Digital change detection deals with the quantification, from multi-date imagery, of temporal phenomena, such as Aforestation-Reforestation-Deforestation, agricultural field rotation, abnormal evolution of the land surface. Despites the numerous change detection indices already proposed, none is sufficiently precise and reliable. We propose then to detect changes by considering not only one but several change indices, as well as information available from other source than remote sensing, i.e. derived from surface evolution model or a priori. For fusion, we chose the framework of the Dempster-Shafer evidence theory. It allows for some global ignorance, which is either present at the borders between the 'No-Change' and 'Change' classes, or is due to the poor quality of some change indices. The performance of the Non Remote Sensing (NRS) data change prediction, when known (e.g. statistical error of a model), can be taken into account the discounting of the mass functions. We present the results obtained in two different cases of application: forest logging and winter vegetation cover of fields in intensive farming areas. Remote sensing data are SPOT/HRV images. Considering the performance in terms of Non-Detection and False Detection rates, the interest of combining at least two change indices was clearly stated. The interest of NRS information has been then evaluated in the case of the field winter coverage application.

Half-rotating wing (HRW) is a kind of similar-flapping wing system based on half-rotating mechanism which could perform rotating-type flapping instead of oscillating-type flapping. Contralateral-type half-rotating wing (CHRW) could run more steadily and smoothly than previous HRW by newly layout of local constraint that mainly consists of moving sheet, circular stator and straight stator. The work principle of CHRW were firstly given in this paper. The design method of key parts local constraint in CHRW was proposed. The contact force model and smooth running condition of moving sheet were especially derived from contact model between moving sheet and circular stator and geometric relation model between moving sheet and straight stator. On the other hand, compared result between theoretical calculation and simulation verified the correctness of contact force model. After optimizing the parameters of some parts of local constraint, the value of contact force was greatly reduced to improve operation stability of CHRW. The research results mentioned above could provide theoretical guidance for design structure of CHRW.


This paper presents a qualitative study on the underperformance of rural education in northern Ghana with emphasis on Junior High Schools. The national curriculum from basic to secondary education run by public and private schools under the watch of the Ministry of Education, Ghana entitles students to sit same national examinations. The national curriculum presents uneven playing field as rural schools that lack quality educational resources are required to compete in same national examinations with colleagues in urban schools who have good educational resources. Pupils' in northern Ghana rural schools in this study are more disadvantaged because of the lack of educational resources needed for quality education as stipulated by the national education policy that establishes schools.

Introduction: Thyroid disorders are the second most common endocrine disorders during pregnancy after diabetes mellitus. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study involving 2000 pregnant women attending antenatal clinic. Women were screened by serum TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) estimation by chemiluminescent method after informed consent. Estimation of free T3 (FT3) and free T4 (FT4) were advised if the screening test was abnormal. All pregnant women were followed throughout the pregnancy, labor and postpartum period to note any adverse feto-maternal outcome. Results were analyzed by Chi square test. Results: 82.5% of women belong to age group 21-30 years. 45% women were primigravida and 55% were multigravida. Serum TSH level was normal in 94.2% women. 3.5% women had sub clinical hypothyroidism, 0.9% women had overt hypothyroidism and 0.6% had overt hyperthyroidism. Of all women diagnosed of having hypothyroidism 92% had absence of any high risk factor and 85.7% of women diagnosed of having hyperthyroidism had no high risk factor for thyroid disorders. Conclusion: Even though universal screening for thyroid dysfunction is not yet a recommendation, it should be considered.


The principle of the reproducing kernel particle method (RKPM) and its application to bulk forming of slightly compressible rigid-plastic material are presented. The penalty method is employed to impose the essential boundary condition. Background cell is utilized to the integration process and different types of Gauss quadrature schemes are introduced in the interior and the boundary, respectively. Tensor product weight function that has brick influence domain is used. Three-dimensional steady state of plate rolling is analyzed using the proposed method. The simulation results of reproducing kernel particle method agree well with those of the rigid-plastic finite element method and the experimental data in the literature. It is essential for solving mesh distortion problem in bulk forming.


The paper discusses the present regulatory framework in Italy concerning transport infrastructures financing and provides some policy indications. The Italian situation is characterised by non homogeneity among the transport modes and insufficient, or even perverse, incentives to efficiency. Also, the norms promote the tendency to overinvestment and "gold plating" because applied within a weak planning framework. After a theoretical introduction to the financing mechanisms (public funding, PPP, price cap, etc.), the paper is structured by modes. For each infrastructure type (national roads, highways, railways, ports and airports), the most common funding practices are commented, underlining their characteristics, limits and implications. National roads and railways are financed by general budget on the basis of a planning activity usually carried by the agent itself. Conversely, highways, airports and ports are partially financed by fares under conditions of legal monopoly granted by concessions. However, the formulas for fares determination are questionable and sometimes provide incentives to overinvestment. The last section will provide recommendations for a more efficient regulation.


BACKGROUND
This study aimed to compare visual results following the implantation of two distinct diffractive trifocal IOLs utilizing various vision evaluation techniques and subjective satisfaction.

METHODS
The study included 32 eyes receiving AcrySof IQ PanOptix implantation and 32 receiving AT LISA tri 839 MP. Post-operative examination at one year included uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), distance-corrected visual acuity (DCVA) at 4 m, 80 cm, 60 cm, and 40 cm, Contrast sensitivity under photopic and mesopic conditions, and a questionnaire on subjective quality of vision, optical phenomena, and spectacle independence.

RESULTS
The two groups were similar in baseline demographics, pre-operative visual, biometric data (except for axial length), and surgical paraments. The PanOptix outperformed the AT LISA tri in the intermediate range when using the standard visual acuity testing (UCVA: 0.23 ± 0.14 logMAR vs. 0.31 ± 0.17 logMAR, p = 0.04; BCVA: 0.21 ± 0.12 vs. 0.28 ± 0.14, p = 0.03) and in the intermediate and far range when using the interactive computer program (intermediate: UNVA "E" optotype test: 0.05 ± 0.12 vs. 0.12 ± 0.13, p = 0.03; Far: UNVA "E" optotype: 0.07 ± 0.12 vs. 0.13 ± 0.10, p = 0.05). In addition, the PanOptix group had higher contrast sensitivity under photopic and mesopic conditions with and without glare at all spatial frequencies. There was no difference in subjective outcomes between the groups.

CONCLUSIONS
Patients who received PanOptix IOL had better visual outcomes for intermediate and far with higher contrast sensitivity under various conditions. Based on patients ' needs and demands, these results could support discussion when tailoring the optimal multifocal IOl.


A simple and highly sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of ascorbic acid is described. The developed method is based on a redox reaction in thatMn(III) generated electrolytically is taken in excess, which is oxidizing a known but a less quantity of vitaminCand the unreacted oxidantwill oxidize further o-tolidine to produce a orange yellowquinonedi imine absorbing cation(i¬max. 455nm). Therefore, in principle, the decrease in colour intensity of the absorbing system is proportional to the concentration of vitaminC. The stoichiometry betweenMn(III) and o-tolidine and stability of the complex were determined by JobÂ'smethod, the corresponding values obtainedwere 2:1 and 1.58i'´105 lmol-1. The systemwas found to be obeying Lambert-BeerÂ's lawin the range, 0.08-0.8mg l-1 of ascorbic acid. Molar absorbtivity, correlation coefficient, and SandellÂ's sensitivity valueswere also calculated and found to be 4.4359i'´103, 0.9987 and 0.0397ig/ cm-2 respectively. The reliability of the new method was tested by parallel determination of ascorbic acid in standard, pharmaceutical and fruit samples using a standard method. The results of vitamin C obtained from both the methods were comparable with one another and the reliability and reproducibility of the newmethod were concluded by F and t test values. Therefore, the newmethod could be employed effectively for the determination of ascorbic acid in standard and other samples either as an independent high sensitive spectrophotometric method or a complimentary method to officialmethod.


Mediation in Islam is known as Islâh and hakam. When a dispute or dispute occurs, the disputing parties make peace efforts by appointing a judge. In the case of divorce, the function and efforts to reconcile are the obligations of the judge as a mediator which must be carried out based on Supreme Court Regulation no. 01 of 2016 concerning Mediation Procedures in Courts. Therefore, peace efforts are sought through mediation in the Religious Courts so that couples who want to divorce cancel their intentions and reconcile. However, the reality is that the success rate of mediation in divorce cases is still relatively low. This is evidenced by the number of cases that end in the trial process, compared to the success of the Mediation process. The purpose of this study was to analyze the implementation of divorce case mediation based on Perma No. 1 of 2016. As well as analyzing Islamic law on the implementation of mediation in divorce cases at the Gedong Tataan Religious Court and the Pringsewu Religious Court. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with theological, juridical normative and sociological approaches, with the object of research being the Gedong Tataan Religious Court and the Pringsewu Religious Court in Lampung. The primary data in this study were obtained from interviews with the Mediator Judge. The secondary data used is the report on the success and failure of the mediation implementation recorded in the final report and the Case Investigation Information System (SIPP). The results obtained from the research that the implementation of mediation at the Gedong Tataan and Pringsewu Religious Courts, based on PERMA No. 1 of 2016, but the implementation of mediation cannot be said to be optimal or not effective, because the success of mediating divorce cases is still relatively low. Mediation or Islah in resolving domestic conflicts actually contains benefits, namely maintaining the objectives of Islamic law (maqasid al-syariah), namely maintaining religion, soul, mind, lineage, and property. Maqashid sharia in mediation is hifd al-nasl (keeping offspring)

Based on many years of experience, packaging is considered as an inactive barrier that protects materials and goods from environmental factors. The applicability of native chemical additive such as essential oils in wrapping papers can be used in the forms of films, treatments, coatings or others. Essential oils or extracts from different aromatic plants are used as bioactive substances for antimicrobial activity. In this research, lavender essential oil treatment of packaging papers is examined for its inhibition activity under nine microorganisms—two Gram-positive bacteria, three Gram-negative bacteria, two yeast and two fungal strains. The effectiveness of the treatment on the structural and strength indicators of the obtained paper samples is monitored. In detail, a five-day examination is conducted on the antibacterial effectiveness of lavender essential oil treatment. Results indicate that the lavender treatment of the obtained packaging paper is successful and the antifungal effect is more pronounced. The antimicrobial efficiency of paper treated with lavender essential oil is between 60 and 90% in the first two hours after treatment and gradually decreases to 40%–50% at the end of the 120 h period. The lavender essential oil treatment of wrapping paper has a promising perspective for preserving products from microbial spoilage and extending their shelf life.

The use of powders obtained from solid alloy waste as a highly solid dispersed component of the composition for plasma-powder surfacing will improve the quality, reliability and durability of plasma coatings of working bodies of tillage machines with a minimum of costs for powder materials. However, the properties of these plasma coatings have not been studied enough, so it is necessary to conduct comprehensive studies. (Research purpose) The research purpose is improving the technology of restoration and hardening of the working bodies of tillage machines by plasma-powder surfacing of powder materials obtained by electroerosive dispersion of solid alloy waste T30K4. (Materials and methods) Carbide powders made by electrodispersing solid alloy waste T30K4 in kerosene were used to obtain plasma coatings. We chose for the renovation object a pointed cultivator paw made of 40XC rolled steel. The obtained plasma coatings were studied using modern equipment and complementary methods of physical materials science. (Results and discussion) We have developed, tested and investigated a new technology for restoring and strengthening the working bodies of tillage machines using the example of a pointed cultivator paw by plasma-powder surfacing of carbide electroerosive powder materials. The effectiveness of the development was confirmed by the properties of plasma coatings: the microstructure of the coating has a fine-grained structure, without inclusions, uniform phase distribution and the absence of pores, cracks and discontinuities; elements W, Ti and Co in the coating are evenly distributed; phases of carbides WC and TiC are present; the grain size of the coatings is about 0.3 micrometers; the microhardness of the coatings is about 14245 megapascals. (Conclusions) The results of field tests showed that the resource of the working bodies of tillage machines, restored and strengthened with carbide electroerosion materials, is 1.25 times higher than the resource of new parts.


Network traffic anomaly detection is an important part in network security. Identifying abnormal activities in a timely manner has been a demand in network anomaly detection. Conventional detection methods include Hurst parameter method, wavelet transform and Markov model. This article proposes a new method using weighted self-similarity parameter to detect abnormal activities over the internet. By performing a real-time Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) on the network traffic, we calculate the weighted self-similarity parameter based on the first Intrinsic Mode Function to analyze and detect suspicious activities. This approach provides the benefits of faster and accurate detection, as well as low computational cost.


microRNAs(miRNAs) are class of 22 nucleotide non-coding regulatory RNAs,which plays important regulatory roles in animal and plant development at the post-transcriptional level.Such functions are conducted either through mRNA cleavage or translational repression.Recently plenty of papers demonstrated that miRNAs in mammals may control a surprisingly wide variety of genes,thus impacting many aspects of biology.Many miRNAs cloned from mouse bone marrow cells are differentially regulated in various hematopoietic lineages,and some of them are linked to hematological malignancies(e.g.Leukemia).This review discusses the recent advances in research on miRNAs and hematological malignancies.

The study represents the results of experimental research aimed at capturing the frequency characteristics of textile electrodes up to 20 kHz while considering their application in recording of biomedical signals. Two textile electrode models have been examined after a number of washing cycles according to the requirements of standardized procedures ISO 6330: 2012 and ISO 105-C06: 2010 for testing textile products.


This study aims to find out how the process and results of students' reasoning abilities are faced with the problems of applying solid geometry. This research was conducted on 10 students of class VIII SMP in the even semester of the 2018/2019 school year. Data collection techniques using purposive sampling. Data triangulation process is carried out to confirm the results of the test and interview. The results of this study indicate that students' mathematical reasoning abilities measured by reasoning indicators have different results. Indicator of the ability to present mathematical statements verbally, in writing, drawings, diagrams, get good results because students have been able to write the information requested and find solutions to problems. Indicator of the ability to do mathematical manipulation to get enough results, because students in the process of working on mathematical manipulation are incomplete and inaccurate. Indicators compile evidence and give reasons to get bad results because students cannot give reasons precisely because the preparation of evidence is incomplete. The indicator draws conclusions from a statement getting bad results because students cannot deduce the questions given correctly due to a lack of understanding. Based on the results it was concluded that the student's reasoning ability was still lacking at the stage of giving reasons for the evidence compiled and inferring from a statement.


In this paper, we propose a Myanmar speech synthesis system based on an End-to-End neural network model, which integrates the Myanmar phone model into the Tacotron2 End-to-End model. Based on the Seq2seq model architecture, we use phone-level embedding to form a feature prediction network from phone sequences to Mel spectrum, and combine with a semi-supervised speech generation network to generate high-quality Myanmar synthesized speech. In addition, we introduced the BERT pre-training decoder module to assist the phone feature extraction, which reduces the system's dependence on the phone feature extraction network and improve the text feature richness. Compared with other Myanmar speech synthesis systems, this method effectively improves the naturalness and accuracy of synthesized speech under low resource conditions.

Exposure of mammalian cells to heat stress causes impairment of numerous physiological functions and activates a number of signaling pathways. Some of these pathways, such as induction of heat‐shock proteins and activation of Akt, enhance the ability of cells to survive heat stress. On the other hand, heat stress can trigger cell‐death signaling via activation of the stress‐activated protein kinase/c‐Jun NH2‐terminal kinase (SAPK/Jnk). Recently, it has been shown that kinases activated by heat stress can regulate synthesis and functioning of the molecular chaperones, and these chaperones modulate the activity of the cell death and survival pathways. We have found that Akt plays a central role in determining the fate of L929 fibroblast cells exposed to heat stress. In our experiments heat stress causes Akt depletion and L929 cells to undergo cell death. Heat‐shock protein 70 (Hsp70) is known to prevent stress‐induced cell death by interfering with the SAPK/Jnk signaling pathway. In our study, there is a very high level of induction of Hsp70, yet this is not sufficient to rescue Akt depletion and L929 from cell death. The Akt depletion is specific, since actin protein level does not change during the heat stress. Moreover, our studies show that L929 cells can recover from a short‐term heat shock, whereby, Akt level is returned to normal following recovery from heat shock. Therefore, it appears that the fate of the prolonged heat‐stressed fibroblast cells is determined by Akt level, and that return of Akt protein level to normal prevents cell death.

Abstract . There is an increasing trend among investors to consider Good Corporate Governance (GCG) in determining company incentives are to be invested in. Obviously, investors would prefer to make investments in companies that adopt Good Corporate Governance rather than otherwise. This view has eventually led to a belief that GCG can give added values not only to the adopting company, but also to the stakeholders. This research analyzes the impacts of family ownership and founding CEO/chairperson on a company's costs of debt. This topic is chosen in consideration that there are still a lot of family-owned companies in Indonesia. The research uses a positivist-quantitative paradigm and the samples are 64 family-owned companies listed at the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2007 to 2009. The research also uses a random effect model. The results of the research indicate that family ownership has positive but insignificant impacts, while founding CEO/chairperson has no impacts on a company's costs of debt. Keywords : corporate governance, family ownership, cost of debt

Aiming at the problem that the temperature of display screen of a shipboard cabinet is higher than the limit demand, the thermal simulation software ICEPAK is used to carry out numerical analysis of the internal temperature field of the cabinet and the modified heat dissipation design of the air-cooled channel. The numerical results show that the cooling channel design of the original cabinet is effective for the heat dissipation of the internal heat source of the cabinet, but it can't meet the heat dissipation requirements of the display panel. Through the design of the modified cooling channel of the original cabinet, it is found that the modified cooling channel not only reduce the temperature of the internal heat source of the cabinet but also effectively reduce the maximum temperature of the display panel by about 25℃. The numerical results have important guiding significance for the safe operation design of the shipboard cabinet.

Forced flow cable conductors being developed for use in LCP coils and other large superconducting magnets utilize supercritical helium flowing through narrow, uneven channels with large cooling surfaces. Extensive measurements on pressure drop of a variety of samples were performed. It is found that the friction factor versus Reynolds number plots of all the data are clustered together and behave in a universal way. A factor of two to three higher in friction factor than the smooth tube value in turbulent helium flow regime can be expected for this type of conductor.

Helma Sanders-Brahms' film Deutschland, bleiche Mutter is an important contribution to (West) German cinema and to the discourse of Vergangenheitsbewältigung or "the struggle to come to terms with the Nazi past" and arguably the first film of New German Cinema to take as its central plot a German woman's gendered experiences of the Second World War and its aftermath. In her film, Deutschland, bleiche Mutter, Helma Sanders-Brahms uses a variety of narrative and cinematic techniques to give voice to the frequently neglected history of nonJewish German women's war and post-war experiences.


Nowadays, many people will be used internet that for their work, communication, education, economic and organization necessary that is used today. Network address translation (NAT) is a method of remapping an IP address space into another by modifying network address information in the IP header of packets while they are in transit across a traffic routing device. A network is a system of hardware and software, put together for the purpose of communication and resource sharing. A network includes transmission hardware devise to interconnect transmission media and to control transmissions and software to decode and format data. The Internet protocol suite is the computer networking model and set of communications protocols used on the Internet and similar computer networks. Knowledge on how the internet is able to communicate with internet users is a mystery to some people. Internet communication need to be TCP/IP protocol which means that TCP is Transmission Control Protocol, or what is sometimes simply used to refer to Internet Protocol, is the basic unit for communication on the internet. This can also be applied to private internet, like Ethernet and so on. Despite TCP and IP being used interchangeably, there is a slight difference between the two in relation to the roles they play IP is directly responsible for obtaining internet addresses and then it is the work of TCP to deliver the data obtained to the addresses achieved by IP. TCP/IP provides end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be packetized, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination. This paper aim is described operation and models of TCP-IP suite in data communication network.

Nest site selection and nest predation were studied at 42 Grey Partridge and 65 Red-legged Partridge nests in southern England. The vegetation characteristics and other habitat features recorded at nests were compared with those recorded at randomly chosen points on field boundaries. Grey Partridges chose to nest where amounts of dead grass, leaf litter and bramble were greater and banks at the base of the field boundary were higher than in adjacent nesting cover. Red-legged Partridges nested where amounts of dead grass, nettle, bramble and leaf litter were greater than in surrounding field boundary vegetation. Grey Partridge nest predation decreased with increasing amounts of dead grass and increasing distance from gaps in the hedgerows. Red-legged Partridge nest predation decreased with increasing ground vegetation height. The consequences of nest site selection on nest predation are compared for the two species of partridge and considered in the light of the habitats in which they evolved.


This symposium session is a tribute to life and work of Dr. Thomas David Oakland, professor emeritus of the College of Education at the University of Florida. Tom was president of the International Test Commission from 1998-2001 and received numerous awards for his work in international testing, including Distinguished Contributions to the Advancement of Psychology Internationally from the American Psychological Association and Outstanding International Scholar Award from the International School Psychology Association. He was a productive author editing 12 books, over 200 chapters and articles, and 11 psychological tests. His last cv listed accomplishments over 145 pages. Tom's later work on temperament assessment exemplified the international flavor of his research in which he collaborated with colleagues to obtain responses from samples in Australia, China, Costa Rica, Gaza, Nigeria, Philippines, United States, and Zimbabwe. What probably isn't as well known is that Tom had a career that was multifaceted. He was not only an accomplished researcher, but excellent clinician, faculty member, department chair, organization president (multiple times), editor, father, and husband. Above and beyond everything else, Tom strove to be excellent in every project he undertook, but would characterize his accomplishments as simply being "competent".

The main goal of longitudinal ventilation in case of fire in bi-directional road tunnel is to maintain smoke stratification, which is necessary for safe evacuation of people. This study investigates the influence of emergency lay-bys on smoke stratification in a 900 m long road tunnel by computer simulation using a parallel version of Fire Dynamics Simulator. The calculations were performed on the high performance computer cluster at the Institute of Informatics, Slovak Academy of Sciences in Bratislava (Slovakia). Several scenarios of fire in the tunnel without and with two laybys were simulated and compared. The most significant differences between smoke visibilities in both cases can be observed in the area of the lay-by located downstream of the fire. Several other differences are analysed as well.


The present research was carried out to investigate the HPTLC fingerprint analysis and antimicrobial activity of various extracts of leaves of Cassia fistula L. Preliminary phytochemical screening was done by the methods of Treas and Evans and sofowora. The HPTLC analysis were carried out as Harbone and Wagnar et. al. described. The phytochemical screening showed the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, glycosides, saponins, triterpenes, tannins, flavonoids, photobatalin and anthraqunies in methanol and aqueous extracts of leaf. The analysis of methanolic extract of leaves by HPTLC confirmed the presence of flavonoids(Peak 4) and alkaloids(Peak 3).The in vitro antimicrobial activity was performed by agar well diffusion method of Perez et. al.,. Of the different extracts methanol, ethanol and aqueous extracts showed significant antimicrobial activity against gram negative bacteria P. aeruginosa and S. aureus also.This study concluded that leaf of C.fistula L. possess significant flavonoids and alkaloids which might be a responsible active principle for the antimicrobial activity.


2539 Background: SSR244738 is a new cytotoxic agent (G2-cell cycle inhibitor). In this first in man study the original schedule of administration was an IV infusion once every 3 weeks (Q3W); and due to the high clearance variability, 1300 mg/m2 was considered the maximum administered dose (MAD). The study was amended to test the twice weekly schedule (D1-D4-D8-D11-D15, every 3 weeks). Methods: Standard escalation was used in cohorts of 3–6 pts. PK profiles (up to T48h or T96h) were obtained in each pt after the 1st and the 5th administration (D1 and D15) of Cycle 1. In the Q3W, there was a trend to lower clearance (CL) in CYP2C9 *3/*3 and *1/*3 genotype pts therefore genotype samples were analyzed at baseline to identify poor metabolizers (PM) and adjust-dosing accordingly. Results: 22 heavily pretreated patients received SSR244738 at doses of 200 (3 pts), 280 (4 pts), 400 (3 pts), 560 (3 pts), 780 (3 pt), 1000 (6 pts; one pt was a PM and received 500 mg/m2). 15 females, 7 males, median age: 60 years (29–...

A selenium and actived carbon (AC) catalyst has been applied for the selective reduction of nitroarenes to their corresponding amines respectively using sodium borohydride (NaBH4) as a reducing source un-der mild conditions. Under the optimized conditions, efficient and selective reduction of nitroarenes into the corresponding aromatic amines occurred over a recyclable selenium catalyst. The catalyst can be easily recovered after catalytic reaction and readily reused for 4 cycles with consistent activity hence reduces the cost of the catalyst. © 2015 BCREC UNDIP. All rights reserved.

The role of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) as a transport medium for biologically and behaviorally active hormones, drugs, and other such molecules has become increasingly evident over the past decade. It is a good sample for the reflection of biological changes inside the brain (1). Several studies have utilized different methods for collecting the CSF from the anesthetized or non-anesthetized rats, such as: involving implantation of cannula catheters into cisterna magna or to drill a hole in the calvarium and insert a tube either subdurally or extradurally along the occipital bone; but these approaches could not be sufferable and cause serious complications to brain parenchyma. Another method is direct lumbar puncture but the problem is, its biochemical composition may not totally reflect the neurological function for studies conducted in cranial region. On the other hand, blood contamination of the CSF is common for all of these established techniques (2-3). It is well known that cisterna magna have the largest volume of CSF in the rat CNS. In the present experimental study, we evaluate a simplified technique for efficient collection of CSF from cisterna magna of the adult rats.

Twenty three male Wistar rats with the body weight range of 200-300 g were enrolled in the study. Rats were anesthetized by ketamine(50 mg/kg) and xylasine (10mg/kg) intraperitoneally. Specially constructed ear bars were placed in the external auditory meatus and the rats were placed in a stereotaxic frame (Stoelting Inc, USA) (Fig. 1). The head was flexed downward at approximately 90◦, a depressible surface with the appearance of a rhomb between occipital protuberances and the spine of the atlas becomes palpable. A midline scalp incision was made and the cervico-spinal muscle was reflected and the atlanto-occipital membrane exposed. Using a special stereotaxic guide to hold the syringe, the point was carefully advanced under direct vision. The atlanto-occipital membrane punctured by the fire-polished 1 ml syringe connected to the 27G dental needle. Then by a gentle aspiration, the non-contaminated CSF was drawn into the syringe. We perform this method by working with two people, one for needle insertion into cisterna magna by the stereotax and control the system for any color change or extra movements, and another for aspirating the syringe. Seventeen rats were obtained for CSF collection. The successful index was the collection of clear and colorless CSF. In thirteen rats, we could succ-essfully aspirate the CSF. The total volume was 1200 micro liters (varies from 80 to150 µlit per animal). The success rate was 76.4%. Failure etiologies were mainly related to dry aspiration, blood contaminated CSF and obstruction of the needle.

This simple technique represented an efficient method for experiments in which non-contaminated CSF are required. The required materials are cheap and easy to be obtained. The technique could be easily done by anyone who is familiar with stereotaxic surgery.

Marine molluscs of the family Haliotidae, commonly referred to as abalone, are a group of benthic reef species targeted by commercial fisheries in 11 countries, forming an important global industry worth approximately US $180 million (Gordon and Cook, 2013). Many abalone fisheries have collapsed in recent decades due to overexploitation, environmental change, and disease, with a number of target species now listed as endangered or considered "species of concern" (Hauck and Sweijd, 1999; Leiva and Castilla, 2002; Gruenthal and Burton, 2005; Kashiwada and Taniguchi, 2007). The world's largest thriving abalone fisheries persist in southern Australia which is currently home to a thriving and rapidly growing aquaculture industry making up approximately 10% of Australia's export market. In this region, the abalone species Haliotis rubra (Figure 1A) was targeted in five states extending from Western Australia to southern New South Wales and Tasmania with a net value of US $79 million (Mundy et al., 2014).

Corporate scandals cause critics to assign a portion of the blame to business educators and demand business schools strengthen ethics curriculum. This study examines the importance alumni placed on ethics and social responsibility in their assessment of MBA Program Effectiveness. Scales were developed for MBA Program Effectiveness as well as the predictor variables, Qualitative Skills, Quantitative Skills and Citizenship. Results of a stepwise multiple regression indicate MBA Program Effectiveness was predicted by Qualitative and Quantitative Skills. Citizenship did not enter the equation. Apparently, alumni did not use their program's ethical judgment and social responsibility components to assess MBA Program Effectiveness.


Limited supplies of natural aggregates for highway construction, in addition to increasing processing costs, time, and environmental concerns, have led to the use of various reclaimed/recycled materials. Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) have prospective uses in substantial amounts in base and subbase layers of flexible pavement in order to overcome the increasing issue of a shortage of natural aggregates. This research presents the development of an empirical model for the estimation of resilient modulus value (MR) on the basis of CBR values using experimental results obtained for 52 remoulded granular samples containing natural aggregates, RCA, and RAP samples. Statistical analysis of the suggested model shows promising results in terms of its strength and significance when t-test was applied. Additionally, experimental results also show that MR value increases in conjunction with an increase in RAP contents, while the trend for the CBR value is the opposite. Statistical analysis of simulation results using PerRoad and KenPave demonstrates that addition of RAP contents in the subbase layer of flexible pavements significantly improves its performance when considering resistance against rutting and fatigue. However, results of repeated load triaxial tests show that residual accumulative strain under a certain range of loading conditions increases substantially due to the addition of RAP materials, which may be disadvantageous to the serviceable life of the whole pavement structure.


Newspaper journalism is said to increasingly depend on PR sources and news agencies. However, news production evolves in several phases. There may be considerable source dependency in the news discovery phase, but sources may be less prominent in the later phases of news gathering and news writing. This study concentrates on the last two phases and analyzes how Dutch journalists rework product launch press releases into newspaper reports. Forty-nine pairs of releases and news reports were analyzed sentence by sentence. Compared to press releases, news reports provide less product or company information and more contextual information, provide less positive and more negative evaluations, and more often attribute information to sources. Overall, less than half of the information in the reports originates from the releases. A framing analysis learns that while releases adopt an advertising frame focused on selling the product, reports offer two kinds of reframing: they regularly recontextualize the release information by adding consumer information and occasionally reconceptualize the launch as a business move. Both the distancing operations and the reframings enhance the report's usability to news consumers. However, radical transformations are rare: most reframings occur later on in the report and the primary frame of the source text is often left in place.

An internal transport barrier (ITB) was observed in the electron temperature profile in the Large Helical Device [O. Motojima et al., Phys. Plasmas 6, 1843 (1999)] with a centrally focused intense electron cyclotron resonance microwave heating. Inside the ITB the core electron transport was improved, and a high electron temperature, exceeding 10 keV in a low density, was achieved in a collisionless regime. The formation of the electron-ITB is correlated with the neoclassical electron root with a strong radial electric field determined by the neoclassical ambipolar flux. The direction of the tangentially injected beam-driven current has an influence on the electron-ITB formation. For the counter-injected target plasma, a steeper temperature gradient, than that for the co-injected one, was observed. As for the ion temperature, high-power NBI (neutral beam injection) heating of 9 MW has realized a central ion temperature of 5 keV with neon injection. By introducing neon gas, the NBI absorption power was incr...


OVERCROWDING is a difficult concept to express since acceptable standards of intensity of household occupancy vary from time to time, from place to place and as between social classes. Indices of overcrowding may be selected from a variety of census data, including the number of persons, the number of rooms, the number of households and the number of dwellings of various sizes. J. I. Clarke has shown that the number of persons to a room has limitations as an index of intensity of occupance; since it takes no account of the size of households and their varying needs, it is, as he puts it, 'a collective generalization'.1 Nevertheless, Clarke concluded that, for England and Wales in 1951, the ratio between persons and rooms in private households 'is a useful index of intercensal changes in housing conditions, and also reflects important regional variations'.2 It has subsequently been shown for Merseyside3 and for Sunderland4 that the number of persons to a room is one of the most significant diagnostic factors in delimiting social areas in towns. In a component analysis based on thirty-one variables, E. Gittus5 showed that this particular factor accounted for 65 per cent of all variables in Merseyside. For 195I, taking the criterion of overcrowding as two or more persons to a room,6 Clarke showed that Scottish counties had a relatively high percentage of overcrowded households (over 3 per cent). The north of England, the West Midlands, London and South Wales had intermediate proportions (1-3 per cent) and elsewhere figures were relatively low (less than i per cent). Despite the high rate of household formation between 1951 and 1961, new building added more dwellings than in any comparable period in modern times and, together with slum clearance, led to a reduction in the average number of persons to a household.7 Consequently, the percentage of overcrowded households has decreased. Thus, the Registrars General for England and Wales and for Scotland considered that the percentage of households containing more than one and a half persons to a room was a more valid index of overcrowding in 1961. In Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic, however, where the intensity of occupance is much higher than in the rest of the British Isles, two persons to a room was considered more appropriate. But the Irish Republic's Census tabulation of persons to a room at 0.5 per cent intervals (0-3) and at over three to a room makes it possible to calculate the figures at over one and a half persons to a room, as does the Northern Ireland grouping of under one, one to one and a half, one and a half to two and over two persons to a room. An intensity of occupation of more than one and a half persons to a room has therefore been selected as the index of overcrowding in Figure 7.


D-S evidence theory is an efective method of processing imperfect information.It is widely used in data fusion systems.However,it involves counter-intuitive behavious when the high conflict inform ation exists.Conflict management is a major problem especially during the fusion of various information sources.A new evidence combination method is presented here.In this improved method,the importance of the evidences is calculated.It enhances the rationality and reliability of the evidence combination through introducing weight coefficients and better results can be acquired.

Drought stress is a major environmental factor limiting crop growth and productivity. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays an essential role during stress response by acting as a signal molecule that activates multiple stress tolerance mechanisms. In this study, the effects of H2O2 on agronomic traits were studied in rice (Oryza sativa L.) cv. Khao Dawk Mali 105 (KDML 105) was subjected to drought stress. H2O2 was applied by either seed priming or foliar application method with a concentration of 1, 5, and 15 mmol/L. The results showed that both seed priming and foliar application with H2O2 improved some yield components. The tiller numbers, number of panicles, number of filled grains, filled grain weight, and harvest index were improved approximately 1.13, 1.04, 1.23, 1.21, and 1.1 times compared to the untreated plants. Foliar application, however, helps the plant by reducing yield loss as indicated by a 0.5-time reduction in the number of unfilled grain and lower unfilled grain weight. It was suggested that 5 mmol/L H2O2 was the most effective concentration to alleviate the effect of drought stress during the reproductive stage in rice.

The continuously variable transmission (CVT) for automotive applications can
 better the transmission of power and fuel economy, a steel-belt design and
 clamping force for power transmission are under development by many researchers
 to increase the efficiency of a CVT and decrease the actuator power. The present
 work assesses the transmission efficiency with two electromechanical actuators
 system (TEMA) to modify the clamping force and DBCVT speed reduction ratio. The
 model is designed based on DBCVT simulation with TEMA package to evaluate the
 DBCVT component energy losses, transmission efficiency, and energy consumed by
 TEMA. According to the results, the TEMA effectiveness of the suggested DBCVT
 has a higher efficiency and improve energy losses than a single-belt CVT (SBCVT)
 but the average energy consumed by an actuator for SBCVT was lower than that of
 the TEMA with DBCVT throughout the new European drive cycle (NEDC). The average
 peak of the transmission energy losses of DBCVT is improved by 9.7% and 29%
 during UDC and EUDC, respectively, and the proposed DBCVT efficiency was
 increased by approximately (4.6% to 8.9%) compared to SBCVT during NEDC.


Objective: To investigate the nourishing blood and smoothing the liver mechanism and material basis of white peony root on the rats of syndrome of white peony root of liver qi and blood dei ciency by analyzing the inl uence of paeonil orin on hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and monoamine neurotransmitter in hippocampus. Methods: 70 SD male rats were randomly divided into seven groups which recorded as normal group, model group, l uoxetine group, Siwu group, 10mg/kg paeonil orin group, 20mg/kg paeonil orin group, 40mg/kg paeonil orin group. Excepted the normal group the rats in the other groups were prepared by chronic restraint stress combined with radiation respectively for 21 days to establish the model of syndrome of stagnation of liver qi and blood dei ciency. The rats in the administration groups and normal group were fed with medicines and pure water from the i rst day of the experiment, respectively. Sucrose preference test, open i eld test and stepdown test were carried on to test the neurobehavioral changes of rats, and weight and peripheral blood hemogram were also measured. After model establishing, the blood was taken and used to test the content of adrenocorticotrophic hormone(ACTH), corticosterone(CORT). Corticotropin releasing hormone(CRH) mRNA in hypothalamus, 5-hydrocytryptamine(5-HT) and dopamine(DA) in hippocampus were also measured. Results: Compared with the model group, the amount of WBC and RBC of paeonil orin group increased, sucrose consumption increased signii cantly, and the weight of the rats increased signii cantly. Number of horizontal and vertical climbing frames in open i eld test of rats in paeonil orin group increased. The ACTH content of the paeonil orin group was increased obviously, while 5-HT and DA in hippocampus increased obviously. Conclusion: The mechanism of nourishing blood and smoothing the liver with paeonil orin which was the active component of white peony root might be related to adjusting the HPA axis and monoamine neurotransmitters.

Presently, the major challenges to the introduction of fuel cell power systems for automotive applications are to maximize the effective system power density and minimize cost. The material cost, especially for Platinum, had been a significant factor until recent advances by Los Alamos National Laboratory and others in low Platinum loading electrode design has brought these costs within control. Since the initiation of its PEM stack development efforts, MTI has focused on applying its system and mechanical engineering heritage on both increasing power density and reducing cost. In May of 1995, MTI was selected (along with four other companies) as a subcontractor by the Ford Motor Company to participate in Phase I of the DOE Office of Transportation Technology sponsored PNGV Program entitled: {open_quotes}Direct-Hydrogen-Fueled Proton-Exchange-Membrane (PEM) Fuel Cell System for Transportation Applications{close_quotes}. This Program was instituted to: (1) Advance the performance and economic viability of a direct-hydrogen-fueled PEM fuel cell system, (2) Identify the critical problems that must be resolved before system scale-up and vehicle integration, and (3) Integrate the fuel cell power system into a sub-scale vehicle propulsion system. The Phase I objective was to develop and demonstrate a nominal 10 kW stack meeting specific criteria. Figure I ismore » a photograph of the stack used for these demonstrations. After completion of Phase I, MTI was one of only two companies selected to continue into Phase II of the Program. This paper summarizes Phase I stack development and results.« less


Fig is a fruit tree with medicinal and nutritional properties. In Costa Rica, the production of this crop has been promoted in order to stimulate the agricultural diversification. However, conscious of the international problematic caused by the presence of the Fig Mosaic Virus (FMV) assays have been performed to the variety "Brown Turkey", present in Costa Rica, which presented negative results for pathogenicity. Consequently, it was considered necessary to establish standardized protocols which allow the microscopic and molecular diagnostics of other figs varieties in the country. In this context, the present research evaluates the efficiency of using diagnostic tools including diagnosis through symptoms, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and using molecular assays through PCR with previous retro transcription (RTPCR) which detected a 302 bp fragment of the FMV RNA-1 in two varieties of fig, corresponding to "Brogiotto Bianco" and "Negro San Juan", using the cultivar "Brown Turkey" as a negative control for the pathogenicity. Through these assays it was possible to determine the differences from a cytological and molecular level in the varieties when compared to the control; evidencing the characteristic symptoms of the studied virus and the amplification of the viral fragment, and hence, indicating that these positive material require a viral removal process before being introduced in the country.

Display advertising has been a significant source of revenue for publishers and ad networks in online advertising ecosystem. One important business model in online display advertising is Ad Exchange marketplace, also called non-guaranteed delivery (NGD), in which advertisers buy targeted page views and audiences on a spot market through real-time auction. In this paper, we describe a bid landscape forecasting system in NGD marketplace for any advertiser campaign specified by a variety of targeting attributes. In the system, the impressions that satisfy the campaign targeting attributes are partitioned into multiple mutually exclusive samples. Each sample is one unique combination of quantified attribute values. We develop a divide-and-conquer approach that breaks down the campaign-level forecasting problem. First, utilizing a novel star-tree data structure, we forecast the bid for each sample using non-linear regression by gradient boosting decision trees. Then we employ a mixture-of-log-normal model to generate campaign-level bid distribution based on the sample-level forecasted distributions. The experiment results of a system developed with our approach show that it can accurately forecast the bid distributions for various campaigns running on the world's largest NGD advertising exchange system, outperforming two baseline methods in term of forecasting errors.


Human cases of avian influenza A (H5N1) virus infection were first documented in Hong Kong in 1997 [1, 2]; the virus reemerged in 2003 to spread intercontinentally and become entrenched in poultry in other parts of Asia and Egypt. Sporadic human cases with an estimated case fatality rate close to 60% continue to occur [3]. Influenza A(H1N1) pdm09 virus first emerged in 2009 as a novel swine-origin strain that rapidly led to a pandemic [4] and remains a common circulating strain. Human infections with the novel avian influenza A(H7N9) virus, first reported in China in March 2013 and subsequently declining after closure of live poultry markets, have reemerged since October 2013 in mainland China and spread to Hong Kong in December 2013 [5]. All 3 types of influenza viruses continue to pose significant threats to human health globally. The retrospective cohort study published byWang et al in this issue ofClinical Infectious Diseases [6] compares the demographic features, risk factors, presenting clinical characteristics, and outcomes of patients hospitalized in China and Vietnamwith laboratory-confirmed avian A(H7N9), avian A(H5N1), or A(H1N1) pdm09 virus infection. The authors have combined and compared data derived from selected studies with somewhat differing designs and time frames. For example, data from Vietnamese patients with A (H1N1)pdm09 or with A(H5N1) infection from April 2009 onward are not included [6], and population-based data on baseline comorbidities were not available for Vietnam. Such disparities might have resulted in populations with differences in variables of interest being combined or missing for analysis. Secular changes in case management are also potential confounders with regard to outcomes such as intensive care unit admission and mortality. In the current report, the frequency of mechanical ventilation was slightly higher in patients with A (H7N9), all of whom were admitted within the past year, than in A(H5N1) patients, whereas the case fatality rate was substantially higher for A(H5N1). The analysis of risk factors compares their proportions in the general Chinese population to those in the hospitalized influenza patients. The findings confirm prior studies highlighting the older age and male predominance of A(H7N9) patients [7], the broad similarities in clinical and laboratory features of severely ill A (H7N9) and A(H5N1) patients [8, 9], and the findings that obesity, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are significant risk factors in hospitalization for A(H1N1)pdm09 virus infections [4].The finding that chronic heart disease was associated with an increased risk of A (H7N9) hospitalization is unsurprising, given the older age of these patients and chronic heart disease's strong association with seasonal influenza complications, although only 11% of patients with A (H7N9) reportedly had chronic heart disease [6]. Recent retrospective analyses examining the effects of influenza-specific interventions have highlighted the importance of influenza infections as predisposing to serious cardiovascular events. Both seasonal influenza vaccine receipt [10] and neuraminidase inhibitor treatment for clinically diagnosed influenza [11, 12] have been associated with significant reductions in subsequent acute cardiac and stroke diagnoses. Both viral and host factors contribute to disease severity and outcomes across influenza subtypes. The younger age, infrequent presence of comorbidities (11% of cases), and higher mortality of A(H5N1) Received 20 December 2013; accepted 20 February 2014; electronically published 31 January 2014.

The basicity constants for a number of ketones, corrected for the steric effects of α-substituents, were plotted against the corresponding ionisation potentials of the carbonyl oxygen lone pair orbitals to give a linear relationship. A plot of log Kas+δEs against Taft δ* values for the same ketones indicates an interaction for the α-sulphur and α-oxygen substituted ketones. A similar plot for a series of nitriles suggests an interaction in α-sulphur-substituted nitriles.


Abstract : As defense budgets decline and traditional defense industry suppliers downsize and consolidate, many believe that the Department of Defense (DoD) must learn how to do business in the commercial marketplace. In fact, commercial industry is leading the pace of technological advances in many important areas. Many current and ongoing acquisition reform initiatives are geared toward improving the business practices of DoD and integrating the commercial and defense sectors of the industrial base. This thesis is an examination of one such acquisition reform program. The Air Force's 'Military Products From Commercial Production Lines Pilot Program' is demonstrating the feasibility of having a commercial firm manufacture military avionics modules. This thesis explores existing technical, legal, and cultural barriers to implementing the pilot program, analyzes the program's risks and benefits, and makes recommendations for future applications. The thesis provides an account of the successes, failures, and lessons learned that may be used by program managers at all levels in determining if commercial industry can be a viable source of military-unique end-items.

This Seminar was presented to post graduate students, academic staff and members of non-government organisations and examines recent evidence based research that examines the impact of Multi-Disciplinary Practice such as a Health Justice Partnership (HJP).
The seminar explores the HJPs impact on improving the outcomes of the social determinants of health for clients with legal problems that would otherwise not have been identified or resolved but for the HJP.
It also canvassed empirical data suggestive that there had also been enhancements to the professional capacity of lawyers, health and allied health professionals through working within an HJP setting that benefit clients and enable further reach in resolving legal problems capable of a solution.
Using research in Bendigo a regional, rural of Victoria, Australia the seminar discusses the nature of the research undertaken and key findings. The discussion then led to ideas around expansion of the HJP model in a Danish setting.


We investigate enumerative properties of unbranched polyphenylene chains. In particular, we find exact formulas for the numbers of matchings and independent sets of given cardinalities in three types of uniform chains. Further, we show that two of those three types are extremal with respect to the number of considered structures among all chains of a given length. The paper also presents some results on polyphenylene dendrimers.
